Objectives: To evaluate the success of porcelain metal ceramic crown andporcelain veneer in endodontically treated maxillary central incisor having discoloration. StudyDesign: Expermintal study. Setting: Akhtar Saeed Dental Hospital, Bahria Town, Lahore andde’Montmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore. Period: 1st January 2016 to 30th June 2016.Patients and Methods: This study includes 42 patients. All the patients had ages between35-40 years and either gender. These patients had discolored endodontically treated uppercentral incisor. The patients were randomly divided into two groups to receive either the metalceramic crown or the porcelain veneer. The restorations were given to the patients according tothe following standard protocols. Follow-up examination was determined as set format of study.The results were compiled at the expiry of twelve months. Results: There were 27 femalesand 15 males. The result is obtained 1.1629 which is statistically not significant at p<0.05.Conclusion: Being conservative in tooth reduction, veneer should be preferred while maskingdiscoloration of single anterior tooth instead of full coverage metal ceramic crown.
